Speaking to RSVP Magazine in the October issue, Grainne revealed that she was used to working non-stop in TV - but the recession stopped her right in her tracks.

She said: "It was a shock at the time, but the break was fantastic also. Because you are on a roll or in a rhythm, you don’t feel tired and then you stop and your body thanks you for stopping.

"If you have got a good work ethic you can keep pushing yourself to do more.
